I'm generally loath to open an essay with dictionary definitions - it feels like a crutch or a cheat or a copout vs structuring a coherent opening thought, but I'm giving myself a hall pass today, because the crux of the point I hope to make relies on a clear and shared understanding of the two words contained in the title.
Again an excellent article and you are right on. Another quote (Bertolt Brecht?) that I like on the subject of science is "The goal of science is not to achieve infinite wisdom, but to prevent infinite error". There are no "ought to"s in science.
Peter,
